"The Sign of Four" is Conan Doyles second novella after "A Study in Scarlet".

  It has been adapted into a film four times and an anime once.

  It also first introduced the art of detection, and listed ten techniques: examining envelopes, handwriting analysis, reading newspaper advertisements, clear geographical indications, footprint examination, tracking with police dogs, using the Baker Street Irregulars, disguise, following by public transport, and shooting.

  This is the detective technique proposed by Holmes, and it is also a necessary skill for detectives. Su Rensheng thinks that he wants to set a precedent, so that later writers of detective stories must follow this rule when writing.

  And in "The Four Signatures" there are also two famous quotes that show Holmes calmness.

  It is a mistake to confuse the strange with the mysterious. The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious because it presents no unusual features from which deductions may be drawn.

  Dont let one persons trait affect your judgment ability, this is the most important thing.

  Jiang Yu got up early again today, as usual, and bought Yangcheng Evening News at the newsstand. Normally, he would eagerly read it, but today Jiang Yu was a bit afraid to look, fearing that there would be another short story published without a middle section.

  He held "Yangcheng Evening News" in his hand for a long time and finally decided to read it, believing that Su Zhan would not disappoint him.

  Open and observe - Chapter 1 of "The Sign of Four" Study on Deductive Method

  Seeing this topic undoubtedly made Jiang Yu stunned, research on the first chapter of interpretation method?

  Is there still chapter 3 and 4? Is what was released today just the middle part?

  Suddenly, Jiang Yu became anxious and worried that this was just a small trick played by the author to disappoint him. He carefully looked at the content, but slowly, all these emotions were thrown away because the content had completely attracted him.

  "Nothing, how can there be nothing?" Jiang Yu looked through the Yangcheng Evening News back and forth, wanting to find the second chapter, but unfortunately, the newspaper only published one chapter per day.

  "Too powerful, Su Ximeng is indeed not disappointing me. Whats his name, Liu Jian or something, that third-rate writer cant even compare to Su Ximeng, completely overestimating himself, trying to stop a chariot with bare arms. Who says Su Ximeng can only write short stories? Who says Su Ximeng cant handle middle-length novels? Todays published Four Signatures is the best slap in the face."

  "What a pity that Su Shiyans works are only published in physical form and serialized in newspapers. If Su Shiyan were to write an online novel, with her writing style, control over the plot, and imagination, she would definitely be able to create a masterpiece and become the new god of online novels overnight. Alas, we book lovers are not fortunate enough." Jiang Yun sighed.

  However, Jiang Yu didnt know that Su Lixian had indeed published an online novel "Ordinary Peoples Cultivation Story", but it was just too poorly written to show off, and being a slow starter wasnt helping.

  These two days, due to Liu Jians article in "Independent Edition", and Su Xianchens unclear intention with Yangcheng Evening News, many readers have been wondering if Su Xianchen can only write short stories and cannot handle medium or long-length works.

  However, everything was clarified today with the release of the medium-length article. Clarifying things with actions is far more effective than clarifying them with words. If using words can convince fifty percent of people, then using actions can convince ninety-nine percent of people. This is Su Rui Chens idea.

  However, Su Rui Chen seems to have underestimated the thickness of Liu Huans skin. After being slapped in the face today, Liu Huan immediately published an article on "Independent Edition" - "Hurry to prove yourself, ultimately will fail because of your own hurry".

  I previously mentioned in the article that although Su Xichen, a talented writer, has first-rate writing skills and plot arrangements, as a newcomer, he is not good at grasping the overall situation. However, with his talent, it should be very safe for him to write a medium-length novel after learning for one or two years.

  But Su Shilei was eager to prove himself, just like a child who is told no by an adult and wants to prove themselves. Thats the feeling I get from Su Shilei.

  Oh, sorry I forgot that Su Rui Chen is just a 14-year-old kid after all and this behavior can be understood. But what kind of consequences will this psychology of being eager to prove oneself lead to?

  Im here to tell you that the article will collapse. Maybe its not bad for one or two chapters, but after three or four or five chapters, it will exceed what can be controlled and directly collapse. So, as a senior, I advise this genius writer: never do something beyond your ability just because of temporary anger.

  Learn a lot for one or two years, such as reading some very wonderful long reasoning novels.

  Chapter 2 Statement of the Case

  Chapter 3: Seeking Answers Through Learning

  Chapter 4 The Story of the Bald-Headed Man

  Liu Fajin published this article after Su Xichen and Yangcheng Evening News still did not respond, publishing on time every day in Yangcheng Evening News.

  The original sales of "Wukong Biography" were already very good, with 150,000 copies sold in a month. However, due to the plagiarism storm and the "Feed - Come Out" storm, sales increased greatly. Especially after Lu Shis publication in "Painting and Newspaper", Lu Shis agent ordered 20,000 copies at once and they were all sold out in one day, now they are asking for reprints.

  Following this trend, its not just 150,000 a month, even 200,000 or 250,000 is possible. However, the better the results, the more Wang Ni feels indebted to Su Xichen. If they had signed a contract with a percentage of royalties, at 8%, Su Xichen would have earned over 100,000 in manuscript fees for sales of 200,000, rather than just over 50,000 now. The more ashamed Wang Ni is, the more she wants to make it up to him.

  Wang Ni, although the editor-in-chief of De Yun Publishing House, but the controlling desire of the president of De Yun Society is really too strong. Generally speaking, for an ordinary editor to raise the price of a certain work should be a very easy thing, but its not the case with De Yun Society. Whether its a price increase of thousands or tens of thousands, a report must be submitted to the president, and Wang Ni has already submitted several reports on raising the price of "Journey to the West", but none of them have been approved.

  So under the helpless situation, Wang Ni thought of changing methods to compensate Su Shicen, calling him every day. However, if Wang Ni hadnt been drinking, she was not a person who liked to talk much, unless she had been drinking, just like when Su Shicen first went to Wang Nis home, Wang Ni got drunk on red wine and her tone of voice and demeanor were completely like those of another person.

  Wang Ni didnt like talking much and Su Xichen also didnt know what to say, so their phone calls often ended in awkwardness.

  "What does Liu Jian of Independent say this time?" Su Xichen said.

  "Liu Huan previously published an article on an independent publication predicting that the third or fourth chapter would collapse, but todays fourth chapter of "Four Signatures" has been released. As the plot unfolds more and more wonderfully, the statement about the full text collapsing is even more absurd. However, Liu Huan has published another article today."

  "He said that Mornings writing ability is very good, using strong writing skills and plot arrangements to delay the collapse of this time. He made another prophecy, saying that Four Signatures will collapse in seven or eight chapters or directly become a bad ending, unable to fill the pit." Zhao DanDan said, "Morning, Liu Hui is not a top-notch writer compared to Fang Mi, he keeps attacking you just to step on you to rise up."

  "I know, still dont post a refutation for now. Liu Xian actually said Id have a bad ending, so Ill just wait until Four Signatures is completely serialized before speaking up."

  A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. This Liu Guang repeatedly published articles to belittle him, this kind of person must be thoroughly trampled to death.

  "The Four Signatures" as a medium-length novel of about 80,000 words, at the price of 100 yuan per thousand words offered by Yangcheng Daily to Su Rui Chen, he could earn another 8,000 yuan. Adding this to the previous four short stories "The Blue Sapphire Case", "The Green Jade Crown Case", "The Red-Haired Gang" and "The Dancing Little Man", which were published in Yangcheng Daily, he had already earned more than 10,000 soft sister coins, of which he gave 5,000 to his parents and kept the rest for emergencies.

  The entire 12 chapters of "Four Signatures" were officially released, with one chapter published per day, and the 12-day publication of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" has already accumulated a huge number of readers. Many newspaper stands in other provinces have requested to purchase newspapers from Yangcheng Newspaper Agency. With the help of Su Xichen, Yangcheng Daily successfully opened its influence in other cities, and Su Xichens article directly increased the sales of Yangcheng Daily by about 20%. This is already quite terrifying. "Qingguan" written by Fang Mi of "Zao Tan Bao" did not achieve this effect at all.

  Yangcheng Evening News, as the greatest contributor to this success, Zhao Dandan has successfully taken over the content management department of the newspaper. His popularity and prestige within the newspaper are even greater than those of the editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily.

  "Four Signatures" made Su Xichen famous in the reasoning circle, and many reasoning readers know that Su Xichen, a 14-year-old author, writes very good reasoning.

  Arthur Conan Doyle gained great fame with this article, and Su Shiying successfully entered the ranks of second-rate writers with this article. His influence in the entire Huaxia has now fully entered the level of second-rate writers, and is even quietly approaching that of first-rate writers.

  He is no longer confined to Yangcheng, but Yangcheng is indeed the stronghold of Su Shiyan, whose influence as a second-rate author in the whole Huaxia is comparable to that of top authors in Yangcheng.

  The reason why he stopped at being a second-rate writer and didnt become a first-rate one is that his experience was still too shallow, having published only one book after all, so he had the appearance of being first-rate in terms of popularity, but not in his works.

  Liu Jian, who has been making a lot of noise on independent publications, has also stopped. The three predictions he made on independent publications: chapters 3 and 4 will collapse, chapters 7 and 8 will collapse, and the ending will be rotten, all failed to come true.

  But Liu Huan didnt look for trouble, would Su Shichen let him off just because he didnt? With Liu Huans attack, it was unlikely that he would be spared, so Su Shichen took the initiative to strike first...
